Free car parking on site. Comfy beds. Complimentary milk, coffee, tea, biscuits. Stylish decor in communal areas and close to the shopping/cafe areas and the beach front in Swanage.

No breakfast available. The Limes felt a bit 'corporate' to me. Nobody on site when we arrived to greet us, answer any questions face to face. I had to ask a fellow guest, who I 'happened' to run into, where the car park was and how to access it. A text was sent to inform me how to collect my room key from a coded box. It's probably a personal thing, but I prefer a more homely B&B.

The Limes is in a great location; close to all amenities in the centre of the town, and to the South West coastal path. My stay represented very good value for money. It's a no frills guesthouse with no breakfast available, but I knew that, of course . It's clean & comfortable, and I would have no hesitation in returning there one day.

The bathroom/shower room, which was for my personal use only, was clean, & the shower was effective, but I thought the shower cubicle and tiling could do with an update, as could the rusting bathroom radiator.

It was really nicely decorated to feel welcoming and calm. The view from the conservatory was beautiful. It was not far from the town shops and restaurants etc but very peaceful. It was also close to open green space. It was also quiet inside and the self check in/ check out worked well and it was good to have facilities to make hot drinks in the room, so it felt very un-bothered but with a good system for getting new supplies or assistance when needed. Parking at the property was also very useful. It was an ideal place to stay to explore local nature reserves and exceptional countryside.

The bathroom was rather cold, but the bedroom was rather hot. I found the duvet very hot (I would have been glad of it in about a month) but it would be nice to have a top sheet for a cooler alternative.

Host was very accommodating. Lovely breakfast. Great location, although walk back up the hill quite steep.

Sadly, there wasn’t an option for breakfast but the owner, Sarah, did recommend a place in town to try Sarah was very accommodating and has a great fridge downstairs with little bottles of milk for guests to take to their rooms where there is tea and coffee available Sarah was also happy to go the extra mile when I discovered upon getting home I had left my hot water bottle in the room, she kindly posted this to me free of charge which I was most grateful for.

It was all good

Near the town centre and beach.

I have stayed before and preferred it then . They no longer do breakfast or have the bar room open . There was nowhere to store food/ drink in the hot weather . the information book had not been updated . Also despite a nice clean room , the radiator grill was clogged with dust noticeably . Not good for folk with allergies.

We had 2 very spacious rooms ie the bedroom and the bathroom. Had all the facilities you need and the bed was so comfortable.

I liked everything about the property but if I had to dislike something it could be that room 14 where we stayed was the first room after the main door so you could hear everyone coming and going. It also had double doors that opened onto the conservatory so you felt that you needed to close the curtains for privacy!

The house was lovely and had a beautiful view. I specifically chose the room that showed a bath in the pictures even though the room is listed as a shower. Win i brought lots of bath bombs with me.

Obviously the hill to get to the hotel from the sea front. No on a serious note I did leave a half used bath bombs on the sink and the maid cleaned it away.

The room and views were lovely. All the extras had been thought about eg hairdryer, luggage rack, fan etc

It was on a steep hill and the roads narrow to get to the carpark. Not all drivers would feel confident. But there was alternative parking on the road outside the front of the hotel which was more accessible. The stair treads were quite narrow - a watchout for stability when arriving/ departing with heavy bags. Neither of above are the fault of the hotel - just a heads up for future travellers.

Excellent breakfast pre ordered night before and everything set up on the table when we came down, room had everything you needed and it was easy to replenish the biscuits, tea etc from the bar also the supply of fresh milk was a nice touch. the parking on site was good. The price including breakfast was very reasonable.

would have liked some tissues in the room and carrying stuff up and down the stairs to the 3rd floor deach day was hard, but that is only because Phil is a musician and carries a trolley round with instruments which cannot be left in the car and these were needed each day as we were there for the folk festival
